I see this ship mentioned many times, but where did this name come from, and is there any pictures of the USS Trinculo

One thing is this:
Trinculo is an entertainer without an audience--needy, pathetic,desperate to find favor. So who would a 19th century jester be? Going with the theory that no matter how exotic Shakespeare's clowns, they are really all English, maybe he's a Chaplinesque music-hall entertainer. Good contrast, yet a little out of time, as clowns should be.

Another is this, which I couldn't connect to:
This has several things listed at Yahoo....

Trinculo is a character from a Shakespearean play..."King Lear" or "Hamlet," I believe.

It's not 'Hamlet'. It might be 'King Lear', but wasn't there a clown or somesuch starting with 'Tri' in 'Titus Andronicus'?

Is it one of the new 'galaxies', like in the war?

*jaw drops* I can't believe I didn't notice that name when I read The Tempest...

Many a day would 'Thor - God of Thunder' & 'Mars - God of War' steal Yahweh's lunch money and hang him up by his breeches, all the while belittling Yahweh by insulting his very odd, and non-imposing God name, usually by adding a valley girl accent, and having it come out as 'yeah! way!'."

Going by its registry NCC-71867, it seems to be a member of the original batch of 6. It may also be the 7th ship where the spaceframe had been built along with the first 6, but then stored for later construction.

I have a few on my old computer...but I'm too lazy to move them and I don't know how to post them on the boards. The pics were from the Planet Hollywood in Beverly Hills, Ca.
